I spend a lot of time digging into government records as part of The Frontier’s commitment to investigative reporting.
Over the past year, I’ve reported on mounting legal fees in the state’s fight to win its federal family planning money back and how universities renamed some offices and shuffled jobs after Gov. Kevin Stitt banned state funding for diversity and equity initiatives.
I’ve parsed through school bullying-related court records and police reports tied to the firebombing of a Tulsa donut shop that hosted an event with drag performers.
It takes time to understand and draw out patterns from hundreds of pages of public records. I’m thankful The Frontier gives me time to dig into important issues and write comprehensive stories.
That flexibility has a lot to do with our business model. The Frontier is supported by grants and donations from our readers, which means that we aren’t put under the same constraints as other newsrooms.
All of our stories are free to read and republish. And from now until the end of the year, your donations will be matched by the collaborative fundraising movement Newsmatch. We can earn up to $24,000 with your help.
Please consider donating to continue our in-depth work for years to come.
